Looking for more remote-control functions and convenient tools as a Hyundai owner? With the purchase of almost any Hyundai vehicle on the market today, Hyundai Bluelink Connected Car Services gives you these controls directly from your smartphone. With Hyundai Bluelink, you can use your smartphone to remotely start the engine, lock or unlock the doors, manage interior temperatures, and more.
Best of all, Bluelink is free for the first three years on all new Hyundai vehicles. Koons Woodbridge Hyundai has a step-by-step guide below to help you set up and use Hyundai Bluelink. Check it out, and feel free to contact our service department for any assistance you might need.
What Are the Hyundai Bluelink Packages?
Bluelink is a platform that allows for the easy exchange of crucial information between you and your vehicle. It involves an artificial intelligence-based technology with an embedded SIM card and a 24/7 call center that improves safety, security, and convenience. Bluelink offers three different packages to customers, and they are as follows:
Connected Care
The Connected Care package is all about vehicle health, scheduled service, and roadside assistance. You can get monthly reports on your vehicle’s condition, including diagnostic alerts on any potential repair or service issues. Connected Care pays off through convenience and better savings, letting you spot issues and take care of them early or get roadside assistance for less.
Guidance
Frequent travelers, local guides, and traveling enthusiasts will love the Guidance package. Using the MyHyundai App or Google apps, you can save favorite locations like local restaurants, hangouts, and parking places. It all gets sent to your MyHyundai profile, accessible online and from your Hyundai vehicle at any time. You can also use Guidance services for voice command destination navigation searches of specific locations or categories, which will automatically set up the route for you.
Remote
The Remote package provides engine start and climate control features, giving you long-distance control. Cool down your vehicle five minutes before you get inside, or warm it up in the winter. If someone forgets something in the car, let them go back while you unlock the doors, re-locking as soon as they’re finished. Like the Guidance package services, you can use them with your Hyundai vehicle’s infotainment system or your MyHyundai App.
Most new Hyundai models come with a three-year trial of Connected Care services. The trim level and model will determine if you can add other service trials. After the trial period, each bundle is available for $99 per year or $9.90 per month.
How To Connect Your Hyundai to Bluelink
Go inside your vehicle, start the engine or turn the key on, and then select Bluelink settings on the menu. From there, choose Service Activation, and you should receive the necessary code. Enter that code in your Bluelink account, and you’ll be set. That’s all it takes. The only thing that might take a minute is registering since it’s your opportunity to choose whether you want additional services and set up important customer service details.
How to Register Your Hyundai With Bluelink
Before you connect your Hyundai to Bluelink, you must make sure you have one of the three services on record with a MyHyundai and Bluelink account. Simply create an account there and register your vehicle using the following steps.
- Click register at the Hyundai owner’s portal.
- Enter your name, email address, secure password, and zip code.
- Select Add a Hyundai You Own.
- Enter your vehicle’s identification number.
- Enter details about its total mileage, condition, and other circumstances.
From that point, you enter the information for your preferred dealership for Hyundai service. This would usually be the same place from where you bought your Hyundai. Select Register; from there, you’ll just need to set up Bluelink. There’s a Wave Enrollment button in your MyHyundai account, so click on that to choose whether to create a Bluelink account or opt out of the service.
Once you create a Bluelink account, you’ll enter the four-digit pin sent to your email, choose your desired Bluelink package, and click next. The free trial available with your new Hyundai should be automatically selected. Enter your payment information, review package choices and other details, and click to confirm.
After that, all you need to do is download the app on your smartphone and sign in with your newly formed Bluelink account. Take advantage of its features and explore Woodbridge fully with a Bluelink-equipped Hyundai.
What’s a Hyundai Driving Score?
Available with any of the three packages, a Hyundai Driving Score is an additional Bluelink service that helps track key details of your driving so you can drive more safely and efficiently. In some cases, the scores from this service can earn safe driving discounts from your insurance company. You must drive at least 20 miles per week for two weeks to create sufficient data, and from there, you can get a Driving Score every week.
Why Isn’t My Hyundai Remote Start Working?
There are a few reasons you may need to troubleshoot remote start issues, aside from interrupted cell phone reception. For the Bluelink Remote Start function to work, the car’s doors must be locked, with the security system armed and the gear in park. It must also have been less than four days since your Hyundai was last turned off.
Which Hyundai Models Come With Hyundai Bluelink?
You’ll find Bluelink services on most Hyundai models going back to 2017 and even some as far back as 2013. The only exceptions are the 2017 Accent, the 2013 Elantra, and the 2013 Tucson. It’s easy to purchase more coverage when your trial runs out, so there’s no real expiration to how long you can use Bluelink features.
